Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has stated that 60 per
cent of coronavirus cases recorded in the state are from oil workers returning
from rigs.
Governor Wike disclosed this when the Management Team of
Mobil Producing Nigeria Unlimited paid him a courtesy visit at Government House
Port Harcourt.
He stated that it is for this reason that the state
government has insisted that oil workers coming into the state must be tested
to confirm their coronavirus status.
The Rivers state Governor also said that the Nigeria Air
Force Base, Port Harcourt, recently quarantined 14 oil workers out, which three
tested positive, just as he commended Exxon Mobil for their gesture.
“Just yesterday the Nigerian Air Force base quarantined 14
oil workers. Three of them tested positive for COVID-19. You see, those who
come from the rig contributes to 60 per cent of the cases we have recorded in
this state.”
